I tried it, too. It did not work because no unlock number appeard. I think that may just for HTC touch......sigh.
is there away to unlock the tytn 2?
I unlocked my tilt by calling at&t on there backdoor number and told them I had tmobile and I just got disconected from the department that was giving me the unlock code and they transfered me right over.
It is not working. I bid an unlock service on Ebay, got a not bad deal, $10 bucks
Hi,
I think about getting an HTC Touch Diamond, it will arrive with t-mobile or o2 sim-lock. Is there any way to remove a sim-lock from an HTC Touch Diamond? If yes, please post me some links. I was searching the forums, but there is too much desinformation.
thanks in advance
take care,

Not even one answer till today? Can't believe that.
Look in the dev part. There's one who can help you out.
-edit- not for free though...
Our T-Mobile MDA devices came without a SIM lock here in the Netherlands.. The Vodafone branded one did however
TMO Germany seems to sell their's without SIMlock, too (mine came unlocked out of the box also...). Dunno about o2, though. there are a bunch of websites who are doing SIM unlocks via IMEI. will cost you something about 25 €s.
Hey guys I've asked this in some thread before but never got an answer. I live in Canada and was thinking of telling my friend who's in the US right now to get me a contract free HD7 from tmobile so I can unlock it and then use it here. So I just want to know if it's a 100% sure thing that the phone can be unlocked before I buy it since I won't be able to return it in case it can't be unlocked. I don't want to end up with a 500$ paperweight since I've read that some people couldn't unlock theirs.
Because if it's not a sure thing, I guess I'll be getting the optimus 7..
Thanks!
T-Mobile will give the unlock codes after you've been a customer for a certain period of time. The length of that period and what happens to it when you've bought the phone at the unsubsidized price are somewhat variable and honestly I would not rely on this happening if you are not a T-Mobile customer.
However www.htcimeiunlock.com will probably be able to unlock the phone; I personally unlocked an HD7 in 15 minutes with their service. Bring a laptop or something and check the IMEI right in the TMOUS store before completing the purchase -- the site will tell you definitively whether it has the code for your specific device.
Like I said I'm not personally going there. My not-so-tech-savvy friend is so I can't ask him to do that. But do u think that eventually after a certain period of time that ALL htc phones' unlock codes will be available or are some just never unlockable?

It's almost certain that it will be available now. And if not, it will be soon enough. I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case scenario is that you have your not so tech savvy friend call tmobile and get the code for you. It shouldn't even come to that though.
I am having trouble getting my HD7 unlocked. I tried www.htcimeiunlock.com and it does not recognize my IMEI. I'm trying to get it unlocked at a different website and they have to contact HTC directly to get the unlock code.
Hi...
I bought one from T-mobile and he told me after 45 days I can call him to give me the unlock code.... But I couldn't wait and I used this website cellunlocker.net to unlock my device and it's working without any problem....Thanks!!!
I also ordered an unlock from Cellunlock.net last week.. Still waiting on a code for my HD7. Apparently HTC is way behind on providing codes to the unlockers for newer batches of phones. Getting annoyed either way, I have this HD7 in Toronto that I can't use.
It's a sure thing as I am using a T-Mobile HTC HD7 on FIDO, so the phone is unlocked. I'll sell you mine if you are in Toronto. T-Mobile phones are different band so you can only get Edge data through it. Kind of sucks if you are use to 3G speed. If you are going to use the phone on Wind then it's same band and you will get high speed data. Anyway it is possible to unlock - I've been using the phone on FIDO for almost 3 weeks now.
I have used www.cellunlocker.net to successfully unlock two of my HD7's. Codes came via email within 30 mins, both times.
I was one of the first people in the UK to get a G1 (I worked for T-Mobile at the time). Completed my contract, moved on to HTC Desire and subsequently to Galaxy SIII. Upon completion of my contract about a year ago, I cancelled with them and moved abroad.
I found my G1 recently and it's still in great shape. Secretly, i do miss its QWERTY keyboard, and have a little nostalgic relationship with it. So I'd like to use it. But of course, it is locked to T-Mobile network (never asked for unlock PIN).
Just called T-Mobile and talked to them for an hour, but they won't give me the PIN because I am not their customer anymore (bloody annoying).
I remember that in the early days of G1 there were some SPLs to convert it into a Dev Phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860 complete with network unlocking. Is it still possible?
I tried the hard SPL at the above thread, and that didn't work.

Hi there! Please let me know if this is the wrong section to post this question.
I recently purchased 2 Rogers Nokia Lumia 635 phones for my parents as their old phones were near death. I figured Windows Phone would be a good environment for them as they both have Windows 8.1 computers, and the UI is pretty straight forward. They don't need a ton of power, just something to make calls, text family, and sometimes look up a website. The 635 filled all these rolls and when they played with one in a store they seemed to understand and like it. Fast forward to today, I've tried 3 different unlock sites, I can list if needed, and none have been able to get a code for me saying one doesn't exist for the IMEIs. I called Rogers to see about their unlocking policy and they told me that to unlock the phones they would need to be active on their network for 3 months and then I'd have to pay $50 CAD to get the code. I'll be damned if I'll give them $80 CAD total per phone to unlock them in 3 months time. My parents wanted them so they could use them on vacation in Jamaica using local sim cards, and when they got back to put it on their PC Mobile accounts (pay as you go). We're now 3 days from when they leave and it seems like there 0 chance I can get it unlocked.
After that blob of context I have a few questions:
Has anyone managed to unlock the Lumia 635 on Rogers without going through Rogers?
Is this something that is common?
Why wouldn't the phone be unlockable?
If anyone could help answer these questions I would be extremely grateful as I'm completely stumped and confused as to what the core issue is. In the mean time I guess I'll try and return the phones and see if I can get the AT&T variant as those seem to be unlockable.

unlock sides are normally people who work at a phone store or repair center , they have access to a db where the codes are stored ( every IMEI has its own unlock code)
there is a possibility that Rogers has a separate section on the db , and the unlock sides don't have access to that part.
it could be that later in time a few unlock sides can unlock them.

As a small consolation,have you tried putting a PC Mobile SIM card into one of the 635 phones. I think PC Mobile uses Rogers Network. As the previous poster noted,the IMEI database the unlockers use most likely doesn't have the Rogers 635 IMEI numbers.

That's fair enough, we called cellunlocker (sorry if XDA doesn't want us mentioning names) and they said it may be because they are newer phones to Rogers and to try back in a couple weeks. We had to return them due to how long we had already had them for and we re-ordered more online at the same price to try again in a couple weeks. Maybe things will have changed, I'd rather buy the phone from a Canadian retailer than have to cross the border and do it.

Sadly they are on Bell, so any Bell/PC Mobile locked phone works, but not Rogers or Telus. We tried it anyways and go the unlock code prompt which cemented that we needed the code.
Thanks to both of you though for trying and explaining, at least I have a better picture of how it works now.

firrae,
Greetings.
I have been in the similar situation with my Rogers' PAYG kit of Nokia Lumia 635.
1. Yes... After months of searching and waiting, my unlocking source has finally found the 20-digit code and it is accepted by mine.
2. Yes... In my past experience with many Rogers' PAYG handsets, particularly Nokia brand, they are like being abandoned as is. My theory is that those stocks are originated from a clearing house which has got too many / overstock that other carriers in the US no longer want. Now, Nokia is gone with the Microsoft assimilation. Things could be even worse for record-keeping in transition. This is the administrative aspect of the issue. Even Rogers itself has a hard time to get the code, which would charge $50 plus tax after 90 days using it with an active account in good standing blah blah but ended up with code not found or invalid code. I have been there and I have to waste $$$ to top up the PAYG balance, for sufficient fund to unlock as well as keeping the account current for the sake of unlocking. But the balance snowballed without the issue being resolved. In the end, I asked the higher up at Rogers to do something: Transfer the balance to my home internet account. Technically, they credit me the same amount in my PAYG balance towards the home internet and told me to keep the PAYG account till it was lapsed in 30 days.
3. There is also a technical aspect of the issue... It is NOT "unlockable" but rather be DIFFICULT to get the code. In the past, Nokia use 15-digit unlock code which could still be possible to crack if the handsets could be JTAG for the protected memory. But another few more digits added, it will be like mining the Bitcoin! Again, it is just low priority for PAYG / low-tier handsets even now they are obligated to provide unlocking.
Anyway, I hope you have also got yours unlocked from your usual unlockers. However, if you still have not got it resolved, feel free to PM me for further details.

I managed to get a code for both the phones in the second batch I ordered and my parents are loving the phones so far, hopefully Rogers clears the Denim update at least, else I guess I'll have to read more into the ROM scene for WP.

Can you please help me unlock my Rogers lumia 635? Ive been trying several online sources with no luck. if you could offer any advice or recommend any unlocking services i would be very grateful! thanks for your time.
I bought a phone yesterday Rogers 635 had it unlocked in less then 2 hours.
send PM if you'd like the link.
It seems to be based on when the phone was shipped? Talking to some people behind the scenes at cellunlocker they told me that there's a delay from when the phone's code is generated and when they receive them. In my case if I had waited I probably could have gotten both unlocked. Seems like it just takes time for the codes to be released by someone.

AT&T variant can be unlocked for free from AT&T directly, you can find them on Amazon.com for $30-50 USD, after tax, shipping and fx convertion, we are looking at $50-70 CAD
